About Rebecca

Rebecca Bayliss works with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting pressures and issues related to self-esteem and identity. She uses a person-centred approach in her practice and has membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has four years' experience in counselling and psychotherapy.

Rebecca trained to masters level in counselling and psychotherapy. In sessions she focuses on building a trustworthy therapeutic relationship and on listening without judgement. She aims to help people talk through difficult feelings and make changes they want to see in their lives.

Her approach encourages people to connect thoughts, feelings and bodily experience. She works with how emotions can affect physical sensations and looks for ways to help those feelings be expressed and processed. Rebecca describes working beyond talk alone and attends to how body and mind relate.

People bring many concerns, including attachment difficulties, abandonment, communication problems, codependency and issues around commitment and control. She also supports those coping with bereavement, family problems, parenting stress, body image, guilt and shame.

Therapeutic methods she draws on include client-centred work, psychodynamic ideas about past experiences and relationships, and trauma-focused approaches when past hurt continues to affect daily life. Sessions aim to be practical and reflective, with time spent understanding patterns and finding ways to respond differently.

Sessions are conducted in English and Rebecca works from the United Kingdom. Her BACP membership is listed as BACP, and she brings four years of clinical practice to her counselling work.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Rebecca uses client-centred work and trauma-focused methods alongside psychodynamic ideas. Client-centred counselling focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people explore their feelings at their own pace, which can be useful for general anxiety, self-esteem and relationship concerns. Trauma-focused approaches aim to address the impact of past hurt on present life and work on how traumatic experiences continue to affect thoughts and feelings. Psychodynamic ideas look at patterns that come from earlier relationships and how these affect current behaviour and emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The counsellor will discuss your immediate needs, goals and preferences and work with you to decide which methods to use. This is a collaborative process and can change as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or sessions that do not require video if that suits you better. Many people find that meeting remotely helps them keep therapy consistent alongside everyday commitments.
